[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to all of you who posted support and snarky. 
I'll avoid requoting and answer.

Yes, mid year report is an average so a 94. He needed the 98 to balance out his overall GPA. But, he didn't push back on the zero. He offered alternatives, and maybe he shouldn't have. Initially, it was supposed to be a  test grade, but she changed it to a project grade (less weight). The final corrected project was pushed to 3rd quarter, as a test grade (moving goal post).

He offered to take the zero test grade for 3rd quarter and balance it out. This may not have been received very well. He also offered to give up her nomination for an excellence award/scholarship. He told her how appreciative he is, but other students are as well. She adamantly said no, but then retracted it anyway (double jeopardy). I told him to keep his head low, shut up and carry on. She kind of forced him into a discussion in person. He calmly told her that he never deliberately plagiarized, stood his ground, showed her proof, supports her early morning tech issues, and he's chair of her advisory board. Now, I don't know if he pushed too far. He really is extremely polite and respectful. The next day she escalated it. Retracted nomination, threatened NHS, and no further reference letters (not sure what this means).

He didn't receive one consequence or two, but four! It makes no sense. He isn't a grade grubber. He tried to do damage control. She has always been strict. He knows her MO. He called her out on emails not received, and told her he must be an idiot to have handed in plagiarized work, and if she wanted him to rewrite actual laws.

Honestly, I'm freaking out that she'll retract college LORs. I don't want to mention it to him. But, I told him we should send deposit for his EA safety now. All apps for RD being reviewed now. Could she call colleges and retract? He has 5 teacher LORs, and chose which ones for each college. He used hers for specific schools.

Yaay effin senior year! He's deflated. They had a very strong relationship. [/quote]
